2017 Map of Taku River C-6 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this international border region, where the rugged topography of the Coast Mountains meets the wide glacial valleys of the North. The Taku River serves as the primary hydrological artery, winding past Canyon Island and receiving numerous tributaries such as Fish Creek and Moose Cr. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex drainage patterns near the border between Alaska and British Columbia, including high-altitude features like Boundary Lake and the peak of Kluchman Mtn. The map's detailed contouring reveals the steep glacial-carved terrain surrounding the Wright River and Yehring Cr, providing a clear picture of this transboundary wilderness. For those studying the landscape of the Juneau Borough, this document clarifies the intersection of national forest lands and the international boundary line defined along the mountain crests.
